- Charlotte Stamper, circular economy energy infrastructure specialist, Zero Waste Scotland

In this episode, we talk about the need to switch from petrol and diesel to electric
vehicles as we enjoy the freedom to get around again without making the climate
crisis worse.
Electric vehicle battery engineer Euan McTurk crunches the numbers in a
bid to answer to a common question: Are electric cars really better for the
planet than petrol or diesel?
Zero Waste Scotland’s circular economy energy infrastructure expert,
Charlotte Stamper, shares our latest research highlighting the risk of creating
more waste as demand for electric vehicles soars – and discusses innovative
solutions to avoid that risk and create more sustainable jobs in the
process.
Paul Codd explains how Cheesecake Energy, his tasty-sounding circular
economy business, is pioneering an unlikely sounding way to make the switch to
electric more sustainable.
